WHERE IS THE WE?

The Democrat and the Republican were sitting on the, fenc« talking politics in a neighborly fashion. “Well, I’m in favor of a tariff for revenue only,” said the Democrat. “And that means,” said the Republican, “a general reduction of duties on imports?” “Certainly.” * “To be followed by a larger importation of foreign-made cheap articles?” “Of course, and what we are after are lower prices.” “Of course, and the low Iprices will result in a decreased demand for our home products?” “Naturally, yes.” “And that means closing American workshops and sending workmen to the farms?” “Well, haven’t we millions of acres of the best land .in the world?” “Sure, and when all these workmen get to be farmer! the increased supply of farm products, with no factory hands to buy the stuff, will push prices down to starvation point and the farmers will have to quit business.” ’ But we shall have lower prices ” “Who is ‘we’? ” asked the Republican, plump to the point. “With the workingmen in factories changed to farmers, and the farmers starved and mortgaged out of existence, what have you got left to compose your ‘we’ to benefit?” The Democrat asked for time to look up the record and find out where the “we” was. »— < ■ VHill doing Watch Repairing At the Citizens State Bank.

NEW YORK IN RURAL EYES.

1 Editor Republican: New Yorkers are not much given to travel anc hence think their own• opinions o 1 their own virtues is the generally accepted one. More than six times as many western residents of the same population visit New York as observers of sdfenery and social life as there are New Yorkers who make notes of the wild and 6 woolly west. We who enjoy good air, water and quiefr-as a rule naturally look upon dife here with unleaveened compassion and profound pity. The Pastor of our five from Rensselaer I fear was unduly impressed with the thought that New .York is a wicked place where people riot through this life and have a very slim chance for a calm future. We have spent two Sundays in this metropolis and it still seems "that social and business standing is not affected very favorably by the church going proclivity; at least not nearly as muclj so as in small towns and villages. Public Opinion reaches in every nook and corner of a rural town, while here in-

dividuality is lost in the crowd. Very few go to church here of a Sunday and scarcely any more then once. The parks and pleasure boats are howevef- all crowded. Sunday is here a day of rest in the sense of a change from a mad search for money to as eager a search for fresh air and sport. There are good people here; tine churches, and in these houses of fefuge we rurals feel a little, safer, especially on the Lord’s day. The pews howe.ver are quite empty while the gardens are full. We naturally go about the city as we do about our own town, for that is the only way we know to judge of the place. The staid New Yorkers regard this conduct as utterly reckless but no harm seems to come of our freedom in folowing the high, median and low lines of observation on the social maps. The gambling spirit shows itself on stock, races and games whenever and where ever the burghers rest from daily toil. Manhattan and Brighton and West Brighton beaches are samples of the three points of observation. There does not seem to be any mutuality in social endeavor letween the rural visitors and the City gentry. The cast of society is . so different here that a casual visitor rom the west can not always catch on just right. The great meeting of the C. E.s is favorbly mentioned in all the papers and will no doubt

do much good. In the city, in all the local pleasure resorts and all around we discover a littl stricter social classification than Hoosiers are used to at home. If the city lads and lasses would place themselves in charge of some wild west combination and stay a week or two with ua they would learn aa much and be looked upon as being as verdant as we no doulpt seem in this great city. Our idea of city dwellers, ,js derived from the commercial drummer who has learned much from actual contact with western ways and is hot by any means a typical New Yorker. We thus guess very wide of the mark. The more we observe

this great human hive of workers and drones, the more we are puzzled at the desire of human beings to rush into the great cities and there fight for a weak and indistinct individuality. I well remember in boy-hood of taking part in debating the relative merits of country and city life. I then knew nothing of the difference save what I read or heard. We have now been here long enough to be convinced that the only way to be happy is to be contented with our environment The cities of Brooklyn and Jersey will not likely ever unite in the same municipal government with New York and its growth like a giant in a straight jacket, must go north far beyond Manhattan Island. New York bay and the rivers ate filled with the vaned birds of commerce. The streets are very clean and we think thin is a pleasant city to visit, study and admire, and with all its short [comings we like It. S. P. Thompson.

Remember the cheap rates to Chicago next Sunday. Only $1.60 for there and back. Agent Chapman is authorized to sell the tickets for any train that day, from earliest to latest, whatever the bills say to the contrary. The tickets are good returning, on any train-, Monday. So many of our citizens have lately sacrificed beauty to comfort, by‘ shaving their faces smooth, that strangers are frightened away, under the impression that the town is headquarters for a colony of Italian brigands. There is no real cause for fear howevenf for our shaven citizens are not nearly so ferocious as they look.

People who go to Chicago next Sunday, on the cheap excursion tickets and want to see the world’s fair grounds, can get there very handily and cheaply on the Wabash Ave. and Cottage Grove cable cars. But a more pleasant way to make the trip is by steamer from the Lake Front Park. Boats are starting every few minutes and the fare is only a quarter for the round trip.

A grand dawn festival, for the benefit of the Catholic church, will be given on the evening of August 11th on the beautiful and spacious grounds, at Mrs. E. P. Hammond’s residence. Among the most inti, ere sting featuresof the affair will be the voting of an elegant prize to the most popular lady. Also a contest for a fine cane, between a prominent Republican and a prominent Democrat. The candidates for the young lady’s prize will be, it is understood, Miss Maggie Healy and Miss Hattie Rhoades.; The candidates for the cane contest have not yet been announced.

Advertised Letters. MrJC. E. Alkrie, O. K. Brown, Mr. Basil Didier;

WORLD’S FAIR NOT BANKRUPT.

Some ignorant or malicious person started the report that Ihe World’s Fair is bankrupt; that it had drawn its last cent and used its last postage stamp. And this false report has been published in hundreds and thousands of newspapers. It is still spreading* aud naturally is doing the Fair harm. The fact is that the Exposition has now $2,500,000 cash in bank and about a million more in sight. It has not had, at any time for a year and a half, less than a million dollars to its credit in cash, and has had as much as $8,000,000 at one time. During the last six months the money has necessarily been expended rapidly for constructing the great Exposition buildings. About three-quarters of a million a month has been paid out for this purpose. A like expenditure will be necessary for several months to come, and more money will be needed by October. The bulk of the receipts

of the Fair from admissions, etc., will hot begin to come in, of course, until the Fair opens. It is in order to tide the enterprise over until that time that the Government has been asked to advance $5,000,000. The most conservative estimate of the Fair’s receipts and expenditures places the former about $4,000,000 in excess of the latter. There need be not the slightest fear of the Fair being bankrupt, or even of its becoming “hard up” if the Government gives the aid which has been asked and which is confidently expected. Should such aid not be given, the public can rest assured that Chicago itself, though it has raised almost $11,000,000 and ought not to be expected to do more, will put, its hand deeper into its pocket and will provide enough money to carry the Fair through to the grand success which it is determined it shall be and which it certainly will be. The Fair is not badkrupt and will not be bankrupt. The only foundation for theinjurious report referred to is the fact that the National Commission, or supervising body has expended all the money which the ; government appropriated for its expenses the current year. That body does not provide the money for constructing the buildings, gathering the exhibits, or otherwise putting the Eair in complete condition for the inspection or the public. This is done by the “World’s Columbian Exposition” or local Chicago corporation. The Fair will be dedicated and opened on time and all bills will be phid.

The Dinner Bell Didn’t Ring;.

John D. Wilson, who lives ou; on the pike, is a great practical joker. J pearly all the farmers in the county are opposed to having people hunt on their farms, but it appears that Mr. Wilson does no; care, who shoots quails aud rabbits oh his broad acres. Last fall Mr. Wilson nailed up the following sign along the gravel road, on the edge of his farm: : Hunt and shoot all you please, and when: :you hear the hell ring come in to dinner.: • ■ „ D ‘; * It was not very long before the boys in Delphi heal'd of the sign and they decided to take Mr. Wilson at his word. So Nat Mohr, John Burr, Vint Martin, Will Donlin, George Gresham, Robert Pollard, Mike Ryan, A. B. Crampton, Nels VanGundy, Ed. Rinehart,'arid some more sports, in all between fifteen or twenty, got their guns and amnnitiop and •started east with the intention of hunting on the Wilson farm, and swboping down on the house when be dinner bell pealed forth. They innted and hunted and got hungry, rind then got up on the fence and waited for the dinner bell to ringr But it did not ring. y . It itas almost two o’clock when be hungry hunters got to Delphi, and tl r ey rapidly cleaned out all be restaurants and lunch-counters in town.

The joke on the boys can be fnly appreciated when it is stated that when Mr. Wilson put up the sign he took down his dinner bell, and no man who ever hunted on Ids farm has heard it ring.—Delphi Journal.
